It takes some getting used to - the older version was easier in some
ways and allowed more control (like sorting by size and toggling between
installed and non-installed stuff)

I do have some wishes for the new RPMDRAKE:

1)  In REMOVE software, when something is checked and a warning comes up
about removing other packages, there should be a way to back out of it. 
Because, when something is checked to be removed and the dependencies
are also checked, you can't "undo" this.  When you uncheck the original
package, the others which were automatically checked have to be manually
unchecked (painful!)

2)  When you pick "sort by update availability" and install some updates
- it returns to "Mandrake choices" and you have to choose "all packages"
then sort again if you want to install more updates.  

3)  There should be a way to call each module (remove, install, update)
from within a given module.  Having to navigate every time to
"Configuration->Packaging->Install/Update/Remove" to change things is
too complicated.

Thanks,
R.Fox
